Kolkata vs Delhi on September 28

In the first match of the double-header on Tuesday, Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Delhi Capitals in the 41st match of the IPL 2021. The game completely slipped away from the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders in the penultimate over of the match against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. From now onwards, the tournament will get tougher and tougher for the Knight Riders, as they will need to win four more matches to qualify for the next stage. Rahul Tripathi has been sensational with the bat in this IPL and he will the man to watch out for in this match. Delhi Capitals have almost confirmed their playoff spot, awaiting only official classification. Now, they will be aiming to finish in the top 2 places. They played as a strong unit right from the first leg and rarely have we spotted their mistakes. Shreyas Iyer has made a strong statement after returning from the injury. Capitals occupy the second spot in the standings with 16 points.

Best economical pick – Varun Chakravarthy has hardly been expensive. Tamil Nadu’s mystery spinner is the go-to go bowler for skipper Eoin Morgan. He has scalped 11 wickets in 10 matches in this year’s IPL at an economy of 6.9.

Top captains & vice captains – Shikhar Dhawan is still leading the runs-scorers’ chart with 430 runs in 10 matches so far in this IPL. It’s worth a risk and you can pick him as your fantasy team skipper. Rahul Tripathi is a much-improved cricketer in recent times, and the Indian selectors will be closely watching his progress. He is the leading run-scorer for Knight Riders in the ongoing IPL with 306 runs in 9 innings, at an average of 38.25.

Smart pick – Shreyas Iyer is back to his usual form after recovering from an injury. He returned with scores of 47* and 43 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals respectively.

Cautious Pick – Eoin Morgan is probably one of the charismatic and stylish white-ball batters in the last decade. His form this year has been terrible, to say the least. He is consuming more balls, not getting to start regularly, more boundaries early in the innings have decreased and more importantly, there seems to be a lack of ability to hit the ball regularly and build an innings. It is better to avoid him in your fantasy XI. 

My XI – Shikhar Dhawan (Captain), Rahul Tripathi (Vice-Captain), Shreyas Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy, Anritch Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Sunil Narine, Venktesh Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Andre Russell, Nitish Rana
